The Kioxia Exceria Plus G4 features Phison’s new E31 controller, designed for PCI-Express 5.0 with a focus on power efficiency. This allows for fan-free operation without compromising performance. Pricing is also competitive, it's the most affordable Gen 5 SSD on the market right now.

Pretty good economic Gen5 drive.
Bit off topic. Is it true that Z890/B860 mobos have transfer M2 slots limited to only 12.6 GB/s ? Seems that attaching SSD to links from graphics lanes, remove that limitation. Not sure it is by design, or can by corrected by BIOS / drivers.

It's obvious that we're going to see Gen 5 SSDs in two tiers: 4-channel reaching about 10 GB/s and 8-channel reaching about 14 GB/s. It's simply a repeat of Gen 4, multiplied by two. Nothing wrong with that, the lower tier is often the best value.

Have other SSD controller manufacturers already announced any 4-channel Gen 5 models?
